Fair enough. I know the FSF likes to make the distinction.

Most of the time Bluetooth and Wifi are provided by the same chip. Bluetooth runs on 2.4GHz, like WiFi up to N-band.
Edit: I’m too slow, looks like!
I’ll be that guy pointing out at semantics - “open-source”, in the widely used OSI definition of the term is actually equal to free (as in freedom). It’s why open-source advocates go so hard at saying “this is not open-source” when companies just dumps their source code somewhere and dubs themselves open-source for it.
GUIX is a GNU Project. You know, Stallman et. al, the guy behind the FSF, or well… the GPL itself (GNU General Public License). If it happens with GUIX, Stallman would be the biggest troll in existence, and we’d have much larger problems to discuss about open source as a whole.
I can see both setups being necessary… If im sitting in a chair, I don’t think I’d want my virtual monitors to be following my head while I move, I’d still want them to be roughly around my keyboard and mouse. But using it while walking, they absolutely should be floating around my head, keeping the main one at some fixed angle.
My 6yo has just been diagnosed, and he’s pretty literally drained after prolonged social interactions, active or not. Almost without exception, he needs 30-45 minutes alone in his room, be it playing with Lego, drawing, reading a book, anything calm and solitary, once we get back home.
Cohen is a massively talented songwriter and poet, but IMHO, most of his songs have covers that are a lot more pleasing to listen to than his.
I’m pretty sure Leonard Cohen wasn’t really your average teenager’s jam at the time Shrek came out. A lot of us knew the song, but I’m pretty sure many wouldn’t be able to tell you who sang it. Smash Mouth didn’t really get much airtime over here either before Shrek, as far as I can remember, and the movie was amongst the top grossing movies of the year IIRC, so it’s not that surprising that many people discovered them both through the movie.
Man, you’re spot on with that last phrase, at least, for me. All I want is a MR headset comfortable enough to wear all day, and to be able to manage virtual windows and/or monitors comfortably in front of me. The rest I genuinely don’t care about. I dream of the day I can replace my big monitor (or multi-monitor setup) with a lightweight pair of fancy goggles that would give me all the monitor real estate I would ever want.
Half of you are like this, the other are Boomer-like in their tech abilities
Hmm I’m not seeing them in there? Pretty sure Metro is its own thing (which owns Jean Coutu, Brunet, Super C, etc), and IGA is Sobeys.
$91 million in fines for T-Mobile + $12 million for Sprint. T-mobile made $8.32 billion of net income in 2023. The fines represent 1.21% of their net income.
$57 million for AT&T. AT&T made $14.2 billion in the same time period. 0.42% of their net income in fines.
$48 million for Verizon. They made $11.6 billion. 0.41%.
In comparison, let’s take the median working class guy making median income, rounded up a couple thousands to a nice $40k/year. We’re comparing net income, so after income taxes, deductions, living expenses, let’s be generous, guy is great at budgeting, lives frugally, say he’s still left with $20k/year. The worst fine is roughly equivalent to the average American having to pay a $242 fine. Not even taking into account that in this situation, the guy likely made tons of profit from the transaction in the first place.
